4 Little too PreyiOus

1t is well enough TO be suspicious Of
strangers. but suspicion should at all
times have some sort of foundation. An
evening or so ago Second avenue mer.
chant learned a lesson in this regard
which he will not soon forget. A
stranger called at his place of business
tailoring establishment-snd desired to
look at some samples Of clothing. The
tailor showed him his stock. and the Wis
Itor selected pattern which would
make up an expensive suit-the cloth
ing with overcoat amounting te
$50. The visitor seemed pleased with
the selections, and said he would
call later and get the goods. Then
it WAS, that the merchant allowed
his suspicious to get away with him,
thinking the stranger had an object in
his visit, and putting on different Goa,
from the one he wore in the store he fol-
lowed his customer, shadowing him for
some time before he found an opportu.
nifty to telephone the police. The blue
coats came up and finally arrested the
stranger, who was amazed at his incar-
ceration, and sent for the proprietor OF
the hotel where he was stopping, to tes-
tify to his good standing. He had nc
difficulty in proving that he had been !
resident of Rock Island for two month:
and had been carrying on a legitimate
business during that time. He was SCI
at liberty Immediately, aud the merchan
tailor now mourns his premature action
